For me it was just CP/M what I used.  At home on TRS-80, later C128 and
after those emulations, some on micro-controllers, some on PCs.  Not so
far ago a Z80-MBC2 joined my zoo, but launching an emulation just stays
faster.  At work I used more diverse hardware, but I only cared about
which one, when I had to transfer files between them because finding a
compatible disk format instead of needing Kermit was like winning the
lottery.

My nostalgia is attached to CP/M, instead of to a specific machine.
